Joule per Centimeter [J/cm]

Joule per centimeter is a unit of energy per unit length.

• 
  

  It measures how much energy is distributed or transferred over each centimeter.

  
  
• 
  

  Since 1 centimeter = 0.01 meter, joule per centimeter is related to joule per meter by:

  
  

• 
  

  Like joule per meter, this unit is used to describe energy density along a line, such as tension in a wire or energy stored per unit length in materials.

  
  
• 
  

  Also, it can relate to force, since:

  
  

Thus, joule per centimeter expresses a larger force equivalent compared to joule per meter.

Kilonewton [kN]

The kilonewton (kN) is a unit of force in the International System of Units (SI).

• 
  

  1 kilonewton equals 1,000 newtons:

  
  

• 
  

  It represents the force required to accelerate a 1,000 kg mass at 1 meter per second squared.

  
  
• 
  

  Kilonewtons are commonly used to measure larger forces in engineering, construction, and physics, such as the load on structures, thrust in engines, or tension in cables.

  
  

Example: The force exerted by a 100 kg mass under Earth's gravity is approximately 0.98 kN.
